Eastbourne schools enjoy the Glyndebourne experience
The performances were the culmination of Glyndebourne’s Singing Schools Network, an educational initiative to support singing and musical composition in schools that has been taking place this autumn in partnership with Create Music and West Sussex Music.
The participating schools from the Crawley area were Hazelwick School, Three Bridges Primary School and Northgate Primary School; and from Eastbourne: The Turing School, St Catherine’s College and Shinewater Primary School. Since September, the students have been working with composer and conductor Howard Moody and professional opera singer Jennifer Witton to create their own songs based on Haydn’s The Creation while also learning sections of the original piece. The workshops culminated in two sharing events at St John’s Church in Eastbourne and Worth Abbey in Crawley.
